Perhaps one of the most misconstrued
concepts in the Bible is the personality of God. From a
person who cannot find the book of Genesis to
tithe-loving, fake-smiling present day preachers,
everyone knows that "God is love", but nobody seems to
know what the Bible also says.
Yes, God is love, but God also has other
emotions, including hate, anger, jealousy, etc. As John
3:16 says, God did love the world. He loved it enough to
send his only begotten Son to die for it. However, God
is angry with people who reject Him and the Bible and
choose to live in their sinful, anti-God,
anti-Christianity lifestyles.
John 3:36 "He that believeth on
the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him."
Psalm 7:11 "God judgeth the righteous, and God is
angry with the wicked every day."
Psalm 5:4-5 "For thou art not a God that hath
pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with
thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou
hatest all workers of iniquity."
Romans 9:13 "As it is written, Jacob have I
loved, but Esau have I hated."
Malachi 1:3 “And I hated Esau, and laid his
mountains and his heritage
waste for the dragons of the wilderness.”
Heb. 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgment:"
Psalms 9:17 "The wicked shall be turned into
hell, and all the nations that forget God."
Hell is a place of actual fire and
actual pain.
Mark 9:43 Jesus said, "And if thy
hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to
enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:"
Matt. 13:50 "And shall cast them into the furnace
of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
(Also read Rev. 20:15, Matt. 25:41, Luke 16)
